State and world records Okay, I said I noted several interesting facts from the state-records list. The white crappie record is the largest at 5 pounds, 3 ounces; followed by black crappie at 4 pounds, 4 ounces; followed by (and this is the interesting part to me) the Magnolia crappie at 3.46 pounds. Gerald Conlee caught the state-record black crappie out of Arkabutla Reservoir on March 19, 1991. Now that one is a little easier for me to personally comprehend. Arkabutla is full of monster white and black crappie today - I know because I've caught some as big as they grow out of Arkabutla.
